Just to expand a little bit, here's the goal. I'm trying to set up a
system which will allow encrypted connections from insecure public
terminals using one-time passwords. The idea is that, if a user needs to
connect to the secure system from a public terminal, they can:

        1. Connect to a web page containing the Java ssh client.

        2. Use the Java client to connect to sshd on the Linux box.

        3. Autheticate using a one-time password, so that any key-logging 
        on the public terminal will be ineffective.

This would allow secure connections without having to rely on having SSH
installed or on prior key exchange. I could do this with OpenBSD, since it
ships with both S/Key and OpenSSH, but I can't seem to find a way to make
this work on Linux.
